[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Woship: What's the Issue?.
Ben Eilers has left a new comment on your post "Woship: What's the Issue?":
Matt,
I think the conclusions you came to on worship are great. The heart of the debate is not the external -- when it becomes the external the church drifts toward gnosticism (or possibly legalism). The center of the music debate within certain "conservative" circles tends to source morality in something other than God (and those made in the image of God -- insert your quote of Mark 7).
In terms of the quote from Romans 10 and then the summary of the Torah, I would also agree that faith points to love (ie. Gal. 5:13-15) but that it does so precisely because it points to Christ. Thus, the end of the law is Christ. He demonstrates (reveals) the heart of the law by his act of sacrifice, thus showing the holiness required and the love expected. I think this is what you were driving toward??
